Kids Activities Lincoln City

Kids Activities in Lincoln City when its nice outside:

“We have visited this park several times. There is something for everybody. There is a swimming area bordered by a fishing dock. There is a boat ramp and a top notch playground. The city has been steadily improving this park adding a sculpture of Sparky the dragon at the entrance, a newly remodeled playground castle and a new pergola for later concerts and events. Also there are many picnic tables, clean restrooms, and a large grassy area to roll out your picnic blanket on.”

The Beach

Hunt for glass floats with Finders Keepers, the Lincoln City sponsored event that turns the entire Lincoln City coastline into a treasure hunt for glass floats. You can take your glass float to the Visitors Center at the Lincoln City Cultural Center to have your find documented.

Tidepools

ROADS END

One of the best is near Roads End State Park, a corner of the coast which offers exquisite intertidal life. From the park, walk a quarter mile north along the beach until you reach the tide pools. This area is mostly flat with stunning views of northern headlands, but pay close attention to tides as they can sometimes cut off access.

15TH STREET

The quickest and most accessible point in Lincoln City is at the 15th Street beach access. There is ample street parking as well as a public parking lot nearby. Although you may park on the beach at this access point, it is strongly recommended to park on the street and walk. Weather and ocean conditions change frequently, and can cause issues with vehicles on the beach.

Kids Activities in Lincoln City when its raining:

Driftwood Public Library

Lincoln City’s public library is absolutely wonderful for all children regardless of age. Bigger kids can check out books, magazines, and the computers. Little kids have a great time in the play area that has Legos, a full (play) kitchen, puzzles, and story time with the Librarian.

Game Over Arcade

A big hit with Lincoln City has been Game Over Arcade, where old and new games mix. Pinball, air-hockey, and basketball are just some of the other games and you can even get the famous Galucci’s pizza sent to your table.

Community Center

There is a kids pool with a pelican that dumps water from its beak and a full size Olympic swimming pool. If you want to go swimming this is the place. At certain times of the year your dog can go swimming here.

An open gym is surrounded by a jogging track and you can play full court basketball or half court on one of many hoops.

The rock wall climbing is sure to get your heart pumping but don’t worry, you are attached to the wall by a rope.

Letters To The Editor

What a great job you have done in covering Taft High sports. It is really nice looking forward to your articles right after it happens. The article on the Tigers baseball team was the best written I have ever read.
